Around the globe, issues of war and peace continue to present challenges to the international community. More than ever, world problems require careful thinking, creative research, and practical approaches if they are to be solved. Since 1983, the University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC) has engaged in such work, facilitating innovative research into the causes of international conflict and cooperation.

A research unit serving the entire UC system, IGCC builds project teams from all ten UC campuses and the UC-managed Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories.

IGCC is committed to educating the next generation of international problem-solvers and peace-makers through its research and teaching activities. The institute is one of the largest sources of dissertation and fellowship support for international studies students in the United States

IGCC researchers study a wide range of topics involving security, environmental, and economic policies that shape our ability to prevent conflict and promote cooperation across the globe. Under the leadership of Director Susan Shirk, IGCC’s ongoing work in its core areas is complemented by the recognition that evolving threats to global stability require exploration of nontraditional connections between and across disciplines and institutions.

IGCC builds bridges between the theory and practice of international policy. We inject fresh ideas into the process by establishing the intellectual foundations for effective policy-making, and provide ways for UC faculty and students to interact with government officials at home and abroad through our collaborative, multi-campus projects and through our office at the UC Washington Center.



IGCC is a non-profit, nonpartisan institute with official 501(c)(3) status. We welcome your tax-deductible donations to help support our work, and encourage you to contact us about our programs and activities.
